Hot Autumn Nights: Speakeasy
KCCK's Hot Autumn Nights 2011: Speakeasy will be an evening of entertainment, food and libation Saturday, Oct. 1, from 7:30-11 p.m. at Gatherings, 905 3rd Street SE in Cedar Rapids.We'll take you back to the 1920s when skirts were short and lapels were wide. Booze was illegal, but if you wanted to let your hair down, you probably knew about a spot where the hooch was potent, the cops were taken care of, and the music was hot.
Admission is $75 per person; tables of eight are $500. Admission includes hors d'oeuvres, wine, beer and assorted non-alcoholic beverages.
